¹ For the law having a shadow of the coming good things -- not the very image of the matters, every year, by the same sacrifices that they offer continually, is never able to make perfect those coming near,

⁵ who unto an example and shadow do serve of the heavenly things, as Moses hath been divinely warned, being about to construct the tabernacle, for `See (saith He) thou mayest make all things according to the pattern that was shewn to thee in the mount;') --

¹⁷ which are a shadow of the coming things, and the body `is' of the Christ;

¹¹ And Christ being come, chief priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands -- that is, not of this creation --

¹⁸ for a disannulling indeed doth come of the command going before because of its weakness, and unprofitableness,

¹⁹ (for nothing did the law perfect) and the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw nigh to God.

²³ `It is' necessary, therefore, the pattern indeed of the things in the heavens to be purified with these, and the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these;

⁸ the Holy Spirit this evidencing that not yet hath been manifested the way of the holy `places', the first tabernacle having yet a standing;

⁹ which `is' a simile in regard to the present time, in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, which are not able, in regard to conscience, to make perfect him who is serving,

²⁵ nor that he may many times offer himself, even as the chief priest doth enter into the holy places every year with blood of others;

³ but in those `sacrifices' is a remembrance of sins every year,

⁴ for it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

¹¹ and every priest, indeed, hath stood daily serving, and the same sacrifices many times offering, that are never able to take away sins.

¹² And He, for sin one sacrifice having offered -- to the end, did sit down on the right hand of God, --

¹³ as to the rest, expecting till He may place his enemies `as' his footstool,

¹⁴ for by one offering he hath perfected to the end those sanctified;

¹⁵ and testify to us also doth the Holy Spirit, for after that He hath said before,

¹⁶ `This `is' the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws on their hearts, and upon their minds I will write them,'

¹⁷ and `their sins and their lawlessness I will remember no more;'

¹⁸ and where forgiveness of these `is', there is no more offering for sin.
